Here’s How the Pentagon Could Save $108 Billion Over the Next Decade

Without people can you have a military? Looks like the US is going to do it's best to find out.

Exactly.

Remember all of the screwing around with retirement benefits back in the 80s?

That lasted until you couldn't recruit or retain quality soldiers any more.

Then they changed it back.

Unfortunately, by that time, they lost a lot of good troops.

And the fix always costs more than if they had left it alone.

Only two throttle settings on this ship. Full Ahead and Full Reverse.
